Four men were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds from the Wirral incident.
Detectives have said Ms Edwards was not believed to have been the intended target of the attack.
A statement from her Elle's father, Tim Edwards, was read out by Merseyside Police detective superintendent Sue Coombs, who said: “There was no-one as beautiful as our Elle May, her looks, her laugh and the way she would light up a room as soon as she walked in.
“She had this way about her that as soon as you met her, you just instantly fell in love with her, everyone that met Elle knew how special she was.”

Ms Coombs later told reporters: “We don’t underestimate how hard that must have been for Elle’s dad but he wants to make sure that people understand the consequences of what has happened here and make sure anybody who has got any information doesn’t hesitate to contact the police and help us put these people behind bars.
“He did it for Elle and I would ask that people respond to his bravery and contact us.”
